I don't buy  the issue of "well maybe I don't want to hire someone who
uses drugs -- so there!".

Is this because they fear it will harm them, or are they afraid my work 
will deteriorate(sp?)?
Will they fire me for having a couple glasses of wine after work?
Will they check my blood every morning when I come to work to see if
I had any liquor this morning or yesterday or whenever?

Do these companies ignore the effects of alcohol but don't ignore the affects of
for example, marijuana, uppers, downers, etc., all of which (alcohol
included) have adverse affects if used abusively?

Are they severe differences between these controlled substances and 
alcohol(which is a legal drug) when it comes to job performance?

Don't forget alcohol is easier to abuse than any other drug!


Disclaimer:  I do not, in any way, condone the use of alcohol(the drug) or 
	     any other mind-altering substances.
